Only recently realised that the big Sigma in maths is the S of Sum, and big Pi is the P of Product.

Elle a un problème avec les maths, Judith Waintraub, non ?
En 10 ans, la population estudiantine dans le privé a augmenté de 67%, celle dans le public de 9%, mais la population globale n'a augmenté que de 3% ???

An interesting knock-on effect of various recent hype cycles at the intersection of LLMs and Maths is that I've found some motivation to care a bit more about what people really mean by "open problem".

Kīlauea is currently putting an a nice show. If my maths is correct (S=1/2at^2), those lava fountains are about 200m high.

Japanese trains are amazing.

If you do your maths right you can estimate the speed of this train through Odawara, Kanagawa. End carriages are 27 m and the standard ones are 25 m in.lenght. Total of 16 carriages.

Ben la longueur d'onde de la couleur rose non plus, et pourtant on voit du rose.
Les espaces à n dimensions n'existent pas non plus, pourtant en maths on sait très bien les manipuler et c'est un outil puissant.
Donc il n'y a aucun problème avec les nombres imaginaires.

I thought I was solving a simple maths problem, but I seem to have stumbled on the answer to life, the universe and everything.

Most of the maths we encounter day to day is to do with money. My work involves a lot of financial calculations. And every time I start by imagining I have 100 pennies in front of me and work from there.

stuff and so if you're ever in doubt, go back to stuff to understand how, and more importantly why, the maths works that way.

I am useless at 'maths' but I'm excellent at 'working out how much of something there is'. Where the maths is abstract it should still be applicable to stuff.

I'm autistic and very visual and always struggle when maths is treated as numbers and rules and not stuff and concepts. When doing calculus I still had to take the maths down to the basic concepts and build up from there. I did a whole A'level physics without a graphical calculator because without

I'm trying to do the maths on this and it might actually be more like 7 years which is crazy

nice! I highly doubt I know more than you... I never gained the needed maths chops. I just think noise is so interesting! Hard part ime is getting people to care, especially experimental biologists: 'who wants to study noise when you can study the signal?'

picking impactful problems will be key...

I think the AMSP is doing a brilliant job within the constraints of the funding (which are not AMSP's fault). The fact remains that the government's current love affair with AI has meant that the AMSP has had to change its offering, and AI is not a priority for many Maths teachers.

absolutely agree. I am just an amateur with stochastic process maths, but know enough to know what I don't know! now lucky to be able to collaborate with good applied mathematicians, and would love to try more of this... currently writing up a paper on stochastic gene expression in dendritic neurons
